Also to add, I run 400w of solar and my battery bank is only 2@ 6vdc 230ah batteries. So roughly half as much battery capacity, and about the same solar versus battery ratio as you are considering. And I find that ratio to be a generous charge capacity. I think you are going to love that system sizing.
That's good to hear. From what I've read, most people recommend 300-400 watts per 100 Ah usable battery bank. Once I add the second set of batteries, I'll have 215 usable Ah. Plus, with it being flooded lead acid, I wanted to stay on the high end of solar wattage.
